The Last Mistake

Claire's life is a careful compromise. She has put aside her passion for music and the man she once loved in favor of a stable marriage and a practical career. In the winter of 2019 she turns thirty-five, ready to start a family. Then her brother announces his upcoming wedding. As preparations jostle their relationship - and push her back into the orbit of the man she once planned to marry - Claire's uneasiness with her decisions mounts. During one pivotal summer week at the beach, she confronts the long-ago choices she might make differently now - and the fact that her husband, too, could be having second thoughts. By the following winter, all Claire's compromises have failed. Pregnant and alone, she longs for both the romance of her first love and the companionship of her marriage. But with her due date looming and the COVID pandemic beginning to spread, she must accept that her options are limited. And she must finally decide whether to chase a happy ending or settle for her perfect life.
